lyrics

I still write you letters I just don’t send them anymore
And in the dark of my room they lie on the floor
And one day I’ll collect them and I’ll unlock my door
And I’ll go to the mailbox and I’ll mail them for sure

And you’ll learn what I’ve thought for so many years
That you hammered me down with the nails of your tears
But I don’t want you back cos I think I’ve moved on
Cos I rent someone’s flat and I own my own gun

What’s there left to say, I’ll never get away, from all the pain inside

I know where you live but I won’t come around
Cos I can’t take the pain of hearing the sound
Of your voice as you say “Hey you’re looking fine
Have you moved on in your life cos I’ve moved on in mine”

What’s there left to say, I’ll never get away
From all the pain inside, there’s nowhere I can hide
The world is cold and dark, I’ll ever get that spark, the one that lights my fire

Well maybe you were good for me or maybe it was fantasy
But you made me feel like my world was for real
And you took me away from the Play for Today
And you put them all down without making a sound
Maybe it was fantasy or maybe it was jealousy
But you went away despite all I could say
And the world seems so dark without you and your spark
That lit up my life for so long

So I’ll keep adding letters to that pile on the floor
Till I’ve lost all the truth of what happened before
And you’ve changed in my head to something so blurred
That I don’t need to write one more useless word

Cloudland Blue Quartet Edinburgh, UK

A quartet in name only, initially influenced by Fripp & Eno's "No Pussyfooting" and The Velvet Underground's debut, songwriter & soundscaper David Reilly started musicking in 1977 by creating drones using sellotape on the keys of his dad's Bontempi Organ. The subsequent junk shop purchases of an electric guitar & fuzzbox and the acquisition of an old Beatles songbook, led him into songwriting... ... more
